Please, watch more TV

We all need to turn the TV dial to Free Speech TV or MSNBC. As often and as much as possible. Get friends and family to turn in, too. If the ratings go up for good television, corporate interests will notice and serve the need.

1. I sometimes turn on the channel on low and just let it go in the background, never hearing a thing.

.... and a lot of the traditional cable channels have not made any kind of (legal) transition to streaming individually.

I'm much happier and more politically active without television.

If I'm not watching television I can concentrate on those political issues I can actually do something about.

Watching television is a passive activity. Screaming at the television accomplishes nothing.

Television created Trump, television must die.
